When it comes to finding age-appropriate entertainment, today's tablets for kids are on another level. Built with sturdier construction and parental controls, they are designed to make parents feel more at-ease with their investment. Still, they don't come cheap which is why you may want to jump at the chance to nab the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus Kids Edition for just $220 at Best Buy right now, a $50 savings on the regular asking price. This price includes the puffy cover in your choice of blue, yellow, red or purple and makes a great holiday gift, too.
It's worth noting, too, that although Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus Kids Edition is also available for $220 at Amazon, Best Buy has a trade-in offer so if you're looking to swap out an older tablet of any kind, there's even more potential to save.

Kids can play and learn with the Samsung Kids app, which includes parental controls that give the grownups the power to choose kids activities and set screen time limits for how long they play. And Samsung designed this model with a puffy, kid-proof cover to help prevent damage from accidental drops. Your purchase also comes with stickers for personalized decoration as well as a Crayo-Pen stylus for doodling, note-taking and creative pursuits.
This tablet has an 11-inch screen with a maximum display resolution of 1,920 by 1,200 pixels. It can charge quickly and last a long time thanks to its 7,040mAh battery. However, it requires a 15-watt charger, which is not included, so you'll have to purchase that separately if you don't already have one. The A9 Plus also supports Wi-Fi 7, runs on Android and includes AI features.

This model is equipped with 64GB of storage that you can increase to up to 128GB if you add a microSD card to the allotted slot, but that is sold separately. That added storage will give your child a lot of space to store games, kid-friendly content and educational resources, so it might be worth the investment.
